| B | Base Camp Power System | Integrated energy system for military field camps consisting of generators, energy storage, distribution networks, and energy management systems to ensure autonomous operation. |
| C | C4ISR Power Supply | Power supply for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance systems. Requires high availability, redundancy, and electromagnetic compatibility. |
| C | Critical Infrastructure Protection (Energy) | Protection of energy-related military infrastructure against physical, cyber, and electromagnetic threats. Plays a central role in NATO resilience concepts. |
| D | Deployable Energy Systems | Mobile, rapidly deployable energy systems for operational forces. Modular, air-transportable, and compliant with NATO standardization requirements. |
| D | Distributed Power Generation | Decentralized power generation to reduce single points of failure, enhancing robustness and survivability of military systems. |
| E | Energy Security | Capability of military forces to reliably access energy under all operational conditions, including supply security, redundancy, and protection against disruption. |
| E | Expeditionary Power | Power supply for expeditionary forces operating outside established infrastructure, emphasizing mobility, autonomy, and minimal logistical burden. |
| F | Forward Operating Base (FOB) Power | Energy supply for forward operating bases, traditionally diesel-based and increasingly supplemented by hybrid and renewable systems to reduce fuel consumption. |
| F | Fuel Logistics | Military planning, provision, and protection of fuel supplies. One of the largest logistical burdens for modern armed forces. |
| G | Generator Set (GENSET) | Military-grade power generator, typically diesel-powered, designed for extreme environmental conditions, continuous operation, and NATO standard voltages. |
| G | Grid-Independent Operation | Capability of military systems to operate completely without connection to civilian power grids, critical for resilience and operational readiness. |
| H | Hybrid Energy System | Combination of generators, energy storage, and renewable energy sources aimed at reducing fuel consumption, minimizing signatures, and increasing system resilience. |
| H | Hardening (Energy Systems) | Protective measures against electromagnetic pulses, kinetic threats, sabotage, and environmental impacts, essential for military energy systems. |
| I | Integrated Power Architecture | Holistic design of power generation, storage, and distribution at platform or base level. Standard approach in modern NATO systems. |
| I | Interoperability (Energy) | Ability of different nations and systems to generate, store, and distribute energy in a compatible manner, forming the foundation of joint NATO operations. |
| J | Joint Operational Energy | NATO term describing coordinated energy use in multinational operations to improve efficiency and reduce logistical risks. |
| L | Load Prioritization | Military load management process ensuring that critical systems receive power preferentially, especially under limited energy availability. |
| L | Logistics Footprint Reduction | Measures aimed at reducing logistical effort, particularly fuel transport requirements. Energy efficiency is a key enabler. |
| M | Microgrid (Military) | Autonomous local power grid within a base or platform enabling flexible power distribution, island operation, and rapid reconfiguration. |
| M | Mission Energy Planning | Planning of mission-specific energy requirements considering duration, load profiles, redundancy, and threat environment. |
| N | NATO STANAG (Energy) | NATO standardization agreements harmonizing voltages, connectors, fuels, and energy systems across allied forces. |
| N | Network-Centric Power | Power supply concepts closely integrated with digital command, control, and communication systems. |
| O | Operational Energy | NATO definition of energy required to conduct military operations, excluding strategic industrial energy. |
| P | Power Projection Support | Energy infrastructure supporting rapid deployment and sustained operation of military forces. |
| P | Power Quality | Stability of voltage, frequency, and signal integrity, critical for sensitive military electronics and sensor systems. |
| R | Resilience (Energy Systems) | Ability of an energy system to withstand disruptions and rapidly restore functionality, a core requirement of modern armed forces. |
| R | Renewable Tactical Power | Use of renewable energy sources in tactical applications, primarily to reduce fuel consumption and operational signatures. |
| S | Signature Management (Energy) | Reduction of acoustic, thermal, and electromagnetic signatures through energy-efficient systems and alternative power sources. |
| S | Smart Base Concept | NATO approach to intelligent, energy-optimized military bases using automated energy management systems. |
